POWDERLY WON'T TALK.
The Socialists Will Attack Him
and LiChtmann.

CHICAGO, October 2.-General Mas
ter Workman Powderly, of the
Knights of Labor, passed through the
city to-day on his way to Minneapolis.
He would not talk on any question of
general interest.
From the talk among the Chicago
delegates it is thought strenuous ef-
forts will be made to remove General
Secretary Lichtmann, whom they ac-
cuse of acting in bad faith in many
ways. The convention will be bitter
struggle from beginning to end. The
Anti-Powderly element is represented
by the ablest leaders. One OF the in
teresting features will be the debate
on Socialism, which Joseph La Badie,
of Detroit, will bring up. 1t is stated
he will demand an explanation from
Mr.. Powderly why he, who for years
was member in good standing Of the
Socialistic labor party, has gone back
ON his principles.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
SAN Francisco, October 2.-General
Howard declines to talk on the subject
of the removal OF the Mohave-Apache
Indians from San Carlos reservation
in Arizona to a military reservation
adjoining Verde Valley. An article
on this subject appeared in a local
paper to-day in connection with a
letter written by General Miles to
General o. o. Howard; and the OBJ
ject in calling on the latter to-day was
to get his opinion of General Miles
letter, as well as his views on
the proper disposition of the Indians
who have proven so troublesome in
Arizona. In his letter General Miles
favored the removal of the Mohave-
Apaches. Likewise he thought
that it was better to have
the 5000 Indians now at San
Carlos reservation divided up and
moved to two, three, or four different
military reservations. General How
ard thought the letter good in many
respects, but preferred not to particu.
larize as he had not received it as yet.
"When do" said he, "I shall. if the
letter is a personal one, write him an
answer, setting forth my views. If it
is official l shall forward it with my
comments to Washington"
Reporter-"Has this matter given
rise to any unpleasant friction between
General Miles and yourself?"
General Howard" None in the
least. What he believes is proper
thing to do, he maintains positively
and with spirit. 1 have my opinion.
We are on the best of terms"

ssBlack Leg'' Killing Cattle-Suc.
cessful Stage Robbery.

CeSsful stage RObbery.
PORTLAND, Or, October 3.-It is
learned that the disease known as
"Black Leg" has made its appear
ance among cattle in certain portions
of Baker county, Oregon. Several
large stockmen have lost great
many head already. The disease
principally attacks young, fat cattle,
older ones generally escaping. Active
steps have been taken to arrest the
progress of the disease.
Thus far no clue whatever has been
discovered as to the identity Of the
two men who robbed the stage few
days ago near Auburn, Oregon. De-
tectives have been on the ground, but
the robbers observed such precautions
as to battle the most skillful. Both
men were completely masked and
had gunny-sacks wrapped around their
legs and feet. The stage driver and
passengers could not possibly identify
the highwaymen, and it was found to
be equally impossible to track them.
Several trained bloodhounds were
used, but the track had become so cold
that even their cunning could not lift
the trail.
Detectives have not been able yet
to discover the slightest clue to the
burglars who blew open the safe Of
the Oregon Railway & Navigation
Company at Colfax, Washington Ter
ritory, few days ago, and got away
with $1,000. A careful scrutiny prom
ises to show that the robbery was
committed by experienced Cracks
men," who must also have been ac-
quainted with the building.

A MIXED LAND CASE.
Duncans0n Gets the Homestead
Entry.

WASHINGTON, October I'm the
case of Martin Vanwig VS.. Alfred A.
Duncanson and the Southern Pacific
Company, the Acting Secretary modi-
fed the decision OF the Commissioner.
The land involved is in section 23,
township2 south, range 7 west, San
Bernardino meridian, Los Angeles,
California. Application by Vanwig to
take a Timber Culture entry was re-
iected by the local land officers on the
ground that the land was within the
limits of the railroad grant, and Dun
canson' Is application to enter the land
under the Homestead Law was re-
iected for the same reason. Subse-
quently Commissioner Sparks over
ruled the local officials, and allowed
Vanwig's entry, which had the effect
of arraying both Duncanson and the
Southern Pacific Company against
him, Duncanson claiming that there
was a Timber culture entry on the
same section previous to Vanwig's ap-
plication. This latter application
Acting Secretary Muldrow finds to be
substantiated and the decision of
Commissioner Sparks is modified SO
as to deny Vanwig's right to the land
and allow Duncanson to make his
homestead entry.

synopsis of Yesterday's Perform-
ances.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 24.-One oi
the largest crowds ever found in the
Haight street park was gathered to-
day to witness the contest between
the Pioneer and Alta clubs. Every
seat and available place between the
groups was occupied. The Pioneers
were first to the bat, and in the first
inning succeeded in making two runs.
But SO closely did the Atlas hold them
down. that they scored no more until
the eighth inning. In the first half OF
the fifth inning, Catcher Mclaughlin
of the Atlas questioned decision rem
dered by Umpire Sheridan, but he
was promptly quieted by being fined
IS. The last half of the fifth resulted
| in the Atlas scoring one, the only run
they made during the game. The
Pioneers batted Muller's pitching very
hard in the eighth inning and gained
two more runs in consequence. This
virtually decided the contest in favor
of the Pioneers. The ninth inning
was ended by the Atlas being struck
out in short order. The game was
played under new rules which are
highly approved of by both the play
ers and spectators. Some excellent
playing was done on both sides. Lor-
ringan's pitching was too heavy for
the Atlas, and this was probably the
principal cause OF their defeat. Score,

DR.. Parker,s Sermon.

New York, October 2.-Rev. DR..
Parker of the City Temple, London,
who is to pronounce the eulogy on
Henry Ward Beecher at the Brooklyn
Academy of Music, Monday night,
preached to-day in Plymouth Church,
Brooklyn, in the pulpit where his
friend stood for forty years. His
subject was "Not here, but Risen" !"
The sermon was largely memorial
discourse.
The oratory of DR.. Parker is simple
and unaffected. There is an occasional
betrayal of English idioms in his speech.
AS a rule, the opinions of his hearers
was favorable to him, and it was pre-
dicted by some that call would be
extended to him by the church. DR..
Parker has declined to state whether
he would accept call. The church
to-day was crowded beyond its utmost
capac ity and many were unable to
gain admission.

THE PRESIDENT AT ST. LOUIS
BE Attends Church and Spends a
Quiet Sunday.

Quiet Sunday.
ST. LOUIS, October 2.-Shortly after
10 O'Clock this morning President
Cleveland and wife accompanied by
Mayor Francis and wife were driven
to the Washington avenue Presbyter-
ian church. In the street and near
the churchmanypeople had assembled,
but the way was easily made through
the crowd, and as the party passed to
the door of the church, the spectators
uncovered their heads, but made no
other demonstration. The auditorium
was crowded. AS the President passed
down the aisle many of the congrega-
ton arose in the pews. In front the
center of the auditorm was accorded
to the visitors. There were no special
arrangements, but the usual service
was conducted without any change.
The pastor confined himself strictly to
his text and alluded to the President
in no manner, except in his closing
prayer. when he invoked a blessing
on the Chief Executive of the country.
At the close of the services, the Presi-
dent and party left the church imme-
diately, and returned to Mayor Fran
cis' residence, where they dined. In
the afternoon they were driven to the
Botanical Gardens, and the evening
was spent quietly at the mayors
house. The President and Mrs. Cleve-
land appeared considerably fatigued
from travel, but are rapidly recuperat-

and progress hitherto characteristic of
American education has been, in gen.
eral, maintained during the year. A
brief account is given of measures
taken in the interest of education in
Alaska. There are fifteen Govern

Commissioner recommends the estab-
lishment of twenty-three other schools
there, and asks appropriations amount
ing to $4,000.

Live ana Let Live.

When we come to the laws which
deal with classes we are apt to think
them somewhat different in nature
from those which deal with individu-
ais, and to attribute to them some
mystic power of demanding obedi.
ence. We call them inexorable, and
SO they are. 1t is also in mex.
orable law that if we place fire and
gunpowder together they will explode.
That is why when we do not want an
explosion we do not put them together.
Now, what is the inexorable economi-
cal law about cheap buying? What,
in other words, will be the inevitable
consequences il we buy in the cheap
est market? The law is this: Where
buyers give the lowest price
they can employers will try to
produce at the lowest price they can,
and the wages Of the worker will tend
to the lowest point at which it is pos
sible for him to live. And the desire
to take much and to give little, upon
hich this law rests, is deeply-rooted
principle of human nature. That is
the very reason why we are bound to
guard against it, in ourselves and in
others, for ourselves and for others.
But this dasire is not The only element
of our nature, and it is controlled in
scores of instance already by other
motives. We do not, for instance,
give the least we can and take the
most we can from our domestic SER
wants. A gradual change in public
opinion has made us feel it so shocking
that it would he virtually impossible
to starve or to maltreat a servant un-
der our own roof. We could not en-
dure to see our housemaid shivering
in rags or pinched with hunger.
Moreover, public feeling would make
it a disgrace to do so. Yet many a
lady who would be Mortified at the
notion of keeping her servant
short of food keeps her charwoman
short of it by paying her no
more than 18d a day. The charwoman
who gets five days work in every
week is an exceedingly fortunate wo-
man; but the lady who employs her
does not see with her own eyes what it
means never to earn more than rs Cd
per week, and pays at that rate with
out self-reproach. Human feeling has
so far softened that we cannot bear to
witness suffering; We are advancing to
the point Of feeling pain when the ex-
istence of unseen suffering is brought
home to us; but we have notyet come
SO far as to be unable to forget the
existence of suffering. But it
surely is not very Utopian
to hope that sympathy may go
on developing side by side with
the growing desire for justice to all
men, until it forms an effective check
upon the savage instinct to take as
much as We can. There are already
some individuals in whom this point
has been reached.-[Longman's Maga-
ziua

other goods, particularly Of English
manufacture, that are seldom. il
ever, combined with another material.
The new goods shown this week so far
surpass anything we have ever seen
in elegance and style that it is diff
cult as well as useless to attempt to
describe them in detail in the space
allotted to this department in our
paper. At best we can only give the
hints-the outlines to prompt our
readers to give further and fuller in
vestigation. The charming novelties
shown in black lace dresses are proc
that these goods have by no means
lost their favor, but, on the contrary
are more fashionable than ever before
Special designs are shown in lengths
of four and a half yards of skirting,
with the same quantity of trimming
width woven across the top. Among
those offered in the more expensive
goods is heavy silk lace, with the
decided pattern outlined by heavy
silk cord, which has quite the effect OF
brocade. Flounces or skirtings OF
Chantilly lace are exhibited in a soft
quality, with mohair cord outlining
the pattern. With this improvement
they will not be 80 liable to become
crushed as those previously offered.
Some very pretty toilets are made Of
these, combined with black moire
antique, in changeable or solid colors,
according to the taste of the wearer.
Black velvet will be much used this
fall. Plain underskirts Of velvet, with
black lace drapery, will be one Of the
chief attractions. A short basque
trimmed with narrow lace will be worn
with this costume. There are laces
especially imported for this purpose
which have velvet polka dots. They
are very stylish and elegant. In fact,
velvet will be much used with all
stuff goods Of medium or heavy
weight, and in every way that artistic
fancy may desire or suggest.
There are some new novelties in
repped velvets. Gold with blue, black
with red or orange, green and red,
blue and brown, however, are the
principal combinations.
Pushes continue in great favor and
the new styles of goods are so pretty
and effective that they are sure to find
many admirers and purchasers. Grey,
cardinal and green, shot with bronze
are very much in demand, and polka
dotted effects are also very much
called for this autumn. Scarfs about
six or seven inches wide, of black and
white French lace, are very fashion
able for the strings and trimmings Of
velvet bonnets. They are fastened at
the back of the crown with an orna-
ment. then brought forward on the
side and tied under the chin.
Jets and beads are massed as gal
looms or wrought in the ordinary pas
sementerie patterns, and are used on
all classes of fashionable dress goods,
more especially cashmere and faille.
The selection Of a suitable trimming
for special color or dress is now ex-
ceedingly difficult, so varied are the
colors and shapes of trimmings and
ornaments.-[N.Y. Dry Goods Chroni-

A CURIOUS ACCIDENT.
A Gable Car Breaks Away and
Works Havoc.

Works Havoc.
CINCINNATI, October 2.-This even
ing strand became loose on the cable
of the Walnut Hill cable road, and
wrapped around the grip of car COM
ing west on Sixth street. The car,
which was full Of passengers, could
not be freed, and rushing on, overlook
another car which had stopped at the
crossing. This car it pushed along.
Breaks were set on both, but without
effect. The cars rushed on in dark
ness, sparks grinding from the wheels,
passengers screaming, and hundreds
Of people following the cars, shouting,
as dashing onward the runaway cars
soon struck horse car on the cross
| ing of Fifth and Sycamore, throwing
| It into a deep ditch. At the same
time the runaway cars were also
ditched, giving such violent wrench
to the cable that four other cable cars
on the way up Walnut Hill were de-
rallied. The shock was great to those
cars. When the result OF the affair
was summed up it was found that
thirty or forty people were badly
bruised. Louis Kolb is probably
fatally hurt, but the others will all be
around tomorrow, it is thought.

styles and Fashions.

The fall openings during the week
of the more prominent retail estab-
lishments exhibited some unusually
elegant goods. In silks the faille
Franchise, which has larger cord
ana softer effect than gros grain, and
vet is not as heavy as ottoman, seems
to be the most popular. 1t is shown
in all the new shades of brown, green,
blue, grey and reddish-violet tints.
Moire antique has been received with
increasing popularity, and is dis
played in the most exquisite evening
shades and tints imaginable. The
new shades of Nile green, light blues
and delicate tones of drab and grey
are especially noticeable for their
beauty and elegance. In light blue
shades these goods have no equal.
Brocaded moire antique velvet and
satin are also offered in the richest
stripes and plaids. Velvets, plain and
figured, are exhibited in endless va
riety, and will be more extensively
used than ever.
Stripes, however, just now are the
most popular. While the two-toned
velvets are richer in effect, they are
not quite so snowy as the former.
They are, however, most attractive
when used with plain velvets or wool
goods of the darkest color. Black vel
vet will be combined to a great extent
with black lace both in bonnets and
costumes. Dress goods are displayed in
arich and elegant profusion of patterns,
styles, designs and colors. Henrietta
cloth is shown in all the new and ex-
quisite shades in silk warp. This
fabric drapes in the most graceful
fashion, and is really the most SER
viceable dress lady can purchase.
Its finish is more perfect than CASH
mere, and is in every way more de-
sirable. Some very handsome cos
tunes are exhibited in black wool
goods. These are held in high favor,
and are considered more stylish than
black silk for street wear. The
English suitings in plaids and fine
checks and stripes are also very
pretty, and are very much in vogue.
Some large broken plaids, which are
more snowy than elegant, are being
combined in costumes with plain ma
terial, the plaid being used for the un-
derskirt.
Combination suits increase in favor,
and will undoubtedly be the most pop.
